Hello to the Oldenburg list,
I have recently signed onto this list and have found the topic interesting. I am looking for further information or help in find my surnames that came from the Oldenburg area. Could someone also tell me if Ardorf is in Oldenburg or Ost Friesland. I have found conflicting answers to that question. My ancestors are as follows.

born: 23 Oct 1795 in Schortens
died: 5 Jun 1856 in Jever
Spouses were:
1. Eva Margarethe CHRISTOPHERS
No information on her
Their children were:
Johann Classen---no information other than marriage to Metha Margarethe GERDES

2. Etta Catharina PAUS married abt 1830 in ?
born: 17 Mar 1796 in ?

I heard at one time there was an OSB being worked on for Schortens. I did not hear if it was ever completed or not. Does anyone know? If anyone can help me in my search for these families I would be most grateful. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Bavia Huls Gibson
